Joseph Gordon Levitt Gossip

Last holiday season’s movie talk was dominated by The Interview, the Seth Rogen movie that may or may not have prompted the Sony Hack. Sony famously dumped The Interview’s release, fearing further action from the hackers—they were already on their knees, it wasn’t an unreasonable thought—and ultimately it landed online, available through Google and Sony platforms.

Have you seen Citizenfour? It won the Oscar for Best Documentary. Anyway, while I was watching it last year, I spent half the time trying to decide whether or not I’m attracted to Edward Snowden. Sometimes it was like, f-ck no. And then the camera would catch him at a certain angle, and he’d be putting an articulate sentence together, and I’d be like, ok, sure, I can see it. Full Story

Lizzy Caplan and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are shooting a movie together in New York about Christmas Eve and old friends getting together. (She’s not with Matthew Perry anymore. Remember that???) Great casting, non? In real life, I could totally see these two hooking up. I mean, I know it’s just acting but seeing her kissing him is the most attracted I’ve been to him ever. Full Story

Joseph Gordon Levitt is in Montreal shooting a film called The Walk, a biopic about Philippe Petit who walked back and forth between the Twin Towers in 1974 on a wire. This explains the costume. It makes him look even littler than he is.
I watched Don Jon on TV the other night. Did you enjoy it? The movie, JGL’s directorial debut received good reviews. Full Story

Anne Hathaway and Joseph Gordon-Levitt attended the 3rd Annual Reel Stories event to benefit the Motion Picture & Television Fund on Saturday in Hollywood. They’ve been friends for a while. They sing together. They make movies together. She makes cameos for him when he directs movies. This is an interesting relationship. Full Story

We know he's on a hot streak right now. We know he's really coming into his own creatively. That he's more in demand than ever. His status as one of the chosen people was cemented by the fact that he was asked to appear in Kimmel's Post-Oscar show as a boldface name. That's a big deal. Full Story

And I would be totally fine with that. Wouldn’t you? Variety is exclusively reporting that Rudd, along with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is a finalist for Ant-Man, which will follow The Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015. But this is a Marvel movie, and worse, it’s directed by fanboy favorite Edgar Wright—a filmmaker who hasn’t tapped commercial success in the US yet but who is crazy talented and a magnet for casting rumors thanks to the number and quality of actors who want to work with him—so this a superstorm of superhero bullsh*t.

Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt gay? It’s a question I’ve asked myself, and I’m sure one that JoGo has been asked, ungraciously, countless times as he’s grown up on camera. Seems like a question everyone has to be prepared to answer if they want to be a star. Now though, Joe’s redefined the way all straight celebrities should respond when faced with this passé query.

The trailer for Don Jon, the first movie written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is here and it’s a weird one. Don Jon is basically about The Situation if he never got famous, and co-stars Scarlett Johansson. I’m a little overwhelmed by how many feelings I have about this, so I’m going to organize them for you, just like I do for the therapist!

I always forget that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was in GI: Joe. In fact, I always forget that JGL and Channing Tatum have actually been in other stuff together (Stop-Loss, JGL’s upcoming Don Jon). They’re probably friends, or friendly work acquaintances anyway. Isn’t that weird? JGL and Channing Tatum are buddies. Full Story

Suppose you’re an affable, lovable male actor in your 20s who’s generally respected and considered to be both talented and kind of a get-along guy – sooner or later you’re going to get asked to do something that is a little embarrassing or has the potential to be silly or great. Full Story

Joseph Gordon-Levitt wants superstardom. He’s already in the mix for the next Batman, carrying into DC/WB’s Justice League movie, and now he’s been revealed as the late entry into Marvel’s casting pool for the lead role in Guardians of the Galaxy, as space captain Peter Quill/Star-Lord. Full Story

In the wake of the monster success of The Avengers, Warner Brothers announced they will be bringing DC Comics’ own superhero super group, the Justice League, to the big screen. (Hilariously, they will attempt to do this in the same year that The Avengers 2 comes out.) The Justice League includes Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, the Green Lantern and Aquaman, three of which have already been or are soon to be introduced in solo movies. Full Story

I’ve only watched up to Weekend Update but so far, Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s not freaking me out as much as he did the last time he hosted when it was much too much hyperness and he may not have blinked the entire time. Anyway, since he’s so popular, I’m assuming everyone squealed when he took his shirt off and rode his pony so I’ll attach a few of those shots. Full Story
